At the time when these verses were sent down, the disbelieves of Makkah thought, and said so openly, that Muhammad (peace be upon him) and those who accepted his message were wasting and ruining their lives. Therefore, it was stated with full force and emphasis: “Those are the ones who will be successful.†That is, they will not ruin themselves as you seem to think in your ignorance, but they in fact are the ones who alone will attain true success, and the utter failures will be those who have refused to adopt this way.

To understand the real concept of the true success one should study the following verses of the Quran along with the relevant E.Ns: (Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat 2-5), (Surah Aal-Imran, Ayat 102), (Surah Aal-Imran, Ayat 130), (Surah Aal-Imran, Ayat 200), (Surah Al-Maidah, Ayat 35), (Surah Al-Maidah, Ayat 90), (Surah Al-Anaam, Ayat 21), (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 7-8) (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 157), (Surah At-Taubah, Ayat 88), (Surah Yunus, Ayat 17), (Surah An-Nahl, Ayat 116), (Surah Al-Hajj, Ayat 77), (Surah Al-Muminun, Ayat 117), (Surah An-Nur, Ayat 51), (Surah Ar-Rum, Ayat 38).
